ELVIO COGNO RAVERA BAROLO 2017

From the renowned Elvio Cogno winery, this organic Ravera Barolo DOCG showcases the prestigious terroir of Novello, where calcareous soils at 380 meters elevation create wines of remarkable structure and elegance. For four generations, the Cogno family has honored Piedmont's winemaking traditions, with daughter Nadia and son-in-law Valter Fissore now continuing Elvio's legacy. The Nebbiolo grapes undergo careful selection and extended fermentation, resulting in a wine that excels with age. On the palate, expect an explosion of juicy blueberries and dark cherries, complemented by refreshing mint, warm licorice, and spice notes. The wine delivers impressive depth with energetic layers that crescendo into a memorably long finish—perfect alongside braised meats, game, or aged cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano.
